It's good there are VR competitors now.. Oculus may have been the first, but who is the best is something we'll see by the end of 2015.

And btw, I also think the only way with VR is going to be with custom controllers. Even ignoring the BASIC problem (VR not knowing where your hands are) you need to have a controller that is connected and linked to movements within the game...

But all that said, 120HZ it needs to be, and it won't be 4K at 120hz with mini-hdmi

Wallshadows wrote on Mar 3, 2015, 15:27:It's a shame that the only experience which ultimately mattered was the part they forgot about and instead added these underwhelming DLC maps. I can appreciate the idea of survival and scavenging on a station which has a Xeno but I'd appreciate it even more if they added alternate angles to the base game to create an interwoven storyline to make a more solid product.

They should have developed the game with multiple perspectives in mind and used the DLC to fill in those gaps much in the same way AvP allowed the Human, Xeno, and Predator campaigns to intersect with each other while providing their own story to follow.

A lone Xeno can be equally as fucked as a lone Human under the right circumstances and the story can be derived in much the same way as the previous AvP titles but without a Queen: you suspend disbelief and listen to the humans talk.

I feel like we'll wait another decade until someone makes a game like Alien Isolation where you get to play as the Alien in an open world space station. Where human AI has several levels of escalations depending on your actions and how well you hide your evil deeds. Where humans have day and night schedules, and where the Alien needs to feed every now and then, but also rest every now and then. During which it becomes defenseless.

One thing is sure, you won't see that in Alien Isolation. They already said there will be no story DLC nor any DLC that changes gameplay.

Bringing Ripley back (which is sure, she has confirmed it herself in interviews), maybe Biehn, ignoring Alien 3 (which wasn't as bad as you remember it, the workprint version is really good!) and the very awkward Alien 4 - that sounds a bit strange to me. Blomkamp is also speaking in riddles when it comes to Alien 3 and 4 (Ignore them? No? Follow their storylines? No? Wait - what? Taking a shower without getting wet?!), and I'm not Blomkamp's biggest fan. District 9 was good, but not stellar, and everything after that was meh. There are better, hungry directors out there in my opinion. We'll see.

but after Prometheus things can't really get any worse regarding Alien lore anyway Is Prometheus even considered canon? God I hope not.... and let's not forget Aliens: Colonial Marines, which is in fact canon. ~.~

Elysium was also kinda meh.. and Chappy has zero reviews before release.

When robots work in all factories in china then that's gonna make the 200 million factory workers very unhappy. Imo the fastest way to a collapse of society in China if suddenly 200 million people had no job and no money.

This artificial scarcity thing doesn't really work because games either "sell out" too quickly (for good games) or too slowly (for bad games). As a consumer, I really don't want to check the GOG page every 30 seconds. It's much better to offer new time-limited deals at set intervals.

Ever since GOG forced me to buy in € my total sale volume on GOG was zero :/

Cutter wrote on Mar 2, 2015, 21:35:Everyone likes Biehn but no. Make a clean break already. If he does this then I've lost interest already.

It won't be a clean break.. it continues and ends Ripleys story arc. This entire franchise is still reeling in from the catastrophic mistake made in Aliens 3, where they wiped out the entire cast quite literally and from the shite that was Aliens: Colonial Marines.
